Explanation
Roads are most slippery during the first few minutes of rainfall, especially if it hasn’t rained in a while. Oil and grime that have built up on the surface mix with the fresh rain, creating a slick layer. This makes it easier for vehicles to skid. To stay safe, reduce your speed, increase your following distance, and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
